Sometimes puppies eat things they shouldn't, and that can get them into trouble. Onyxx, the adorable 10 month old Blue-Nosed Pitbull, learned the hard way not to eat random pieces of clothes and shoes.

Onyxx was taken to Animal Medical Center of Wyoming because he wasn't eating and when he would drink he would throw up afterward (and it had a really terrible smell). At AMC, Onyxx's parents learned that he had a piece of cloth the size of a lemon stuck in his belly and a piece of elastic from a kids shoe.

His parents brought him back into AMC where they found that the elastic from the shoe had rubbed his intestine raw, causing a lot of damage. The vet had to remove between four to five feet of his intestines.

Onyxx's parents just welcomed a baby girl into the family, and one of his parents hasn't been able to work since early January due to an injury. We stepped in to help them pay their fur babies medical bills.

We are very happy to report that Onyxx is doing fantastic and enjoying playing in the snow that fell the last couple of days.
